Australian indigenous & oceanic art

Art, Design & Photography History Australiana

Australian Indigenous & Oceanic Art by Helen Read and Mossgreen gathers 120 pages of striking imagery and concise commentary that trace Aboriginal painting traditions alongside Oceanic artefacts. The 2016 paperback spotlights bark canvases, ceremonial sculptures and contemporary gallery pieces, making it an inviting primer for collectors and students of Australian art history.

Every spread pairs high-resolution colour plates with notes on provenance, regional styles and market pointers, so fans of collectibles can spot key makers and exhibition highlights. Young adults and adults alike will appreciate the accessible layout that moves from ancient rock art to current Mossgreen auction stars.

As the final copy in stock, this gently handled picture book offers a concise entry point to Indigenous visual culture without the price tag of a hard-to-find catalogue. Snap it up to enrich your library of Australiana or to frame your next wall display with authentic reference.
